i think the speed is where the engine power stops.... i do not think the weight would be a real difference for top speed. it may be a difference when getting out of the hole/aka starting out.. thx for the show and showing what does happen with different weight in the boat. it is good to know it has plenty of power/powerful engine

Right? Most pontoons are big and slow because they’re made for easy cruises. Top speeds around 20 mph. I call the Switch a jet ski on steroids. But I want one anyway!

I haven't been able to top 37-38 so far. Got about 13 hours on it. With three people mostly get around 34 tops. Disappointed I have not hit the 40 mark . However I had some damage done to my impeller on maiden voyage. We found out about the damage on the boat when we had our 10 hour service done. Curious if this is the biggest reason for the low speed so far. We were told they dont have the parts to fix it even if we came off the hip to do it (claiming $800 to get it repaired labor and all). Tech suggested he would just deal with at later date if cavitation issues make it necessary to do so. The plastic "O" ring got damaged a bit as well. Likely sucked up a rock into it. That it the only downside to these jet powered motors. Be very cautious in shallow waters with it.

Yes agree big time. Although these float in shallow water, absolutely do not turn them on in under 3 feet of water. Bigtime danger. Much like jet skis, be cautious because there's a jet pump. Hopefully there's a trolling motor soon. If not, I'll be making one for fishing shallows. And yes, a busted wear ring will break before the impeller. This is by design - they are cheap and easy to replace. If there's a crack or hole, this will certainly cavitate. Anyways, keep an eye out because I'll be replacing my impeller soon with a performance one. When I do this, the wear ring will come out as well. Best of luck with yours! You'll see 40+ mph when you get that wear ring fixed. If you want to see something similar, watch my video on my many wear ring replacements on my sparks!

@@WeTryMotorsports Btw I speculate that a a chip of the concrete ramp was what got sucked up in the jet. My handling was a bit clumsy getting out that first time. There was no dock to tie off to. My backing was not accurate and the bottom of the boat ended up sideways across the raised submerged concrete edges of the ramp. The water at that point was probably only a foot or so. Being a first time inexperienced boat owner can be expensive for sure. Likely a cautionary example to others like myself to be very picky with how and where you launch.

Its a pontoon (tri-toon) boat. Its crazy it goes that fast. I've always wanted a pontoon boat. I'd rather go a little slower and have a ton of room for people to have a good time. Going fast is only fun for so long, but this boat has it all. I'm very impressed. No need for it to go any faster at all. Love his boat

@@CL-pe4ll Mine is the 13 footer so a ton of space is not a reality. The coolest feature is how nimble it is on the water . Speed isn't everything obviously but I have been a little concerned that I have not gotten it past 38. I would like to know if this is in line with the performance others are getting with it. I like the boat quite a bit overall. Btw I know I have seen at least one case where their speed reached the advertised speed. If you by chance get one like mine be aware that the weight limit(passenger) is low at 705 lbs. I am sure that the larger ones have a significantly different picture as to hauling big parties of people.

One question I have that I can't seem to find an answer for is; can the bimini top be completely removed an left in the garage. I'd like to start looking at one of these but I'd use it about 50% of the time for bass fishing and that top would likely get in the way, especially if I had more than one person on the boat. I wonder how much of a speed difference that top makes as well.

nope, nobody has anything out there yet for tunes and according to Riva they can crank a few more HP out but not that much.

People whoe take the pwc engines out and putting them in those aluminum jet boats have figured why didn't seadoo and still use the wheel. It just looks strange to me.

@@jeffbryner5355 Have you actually driven one, though? I'd recommend that for sure! however, that's exactly how I put this "boat" in some upcoming videos. it's literally as if slapped outriggers on a GTI and called it a boat. think of it as a hybrid rather than a boat. it's unique for sure, but coming at you with 20 years of boating experience, this is far more maneuverable than any boat I've ever driven. also, this ain't a luxury boat. it's not even defined as one. it has it's own class, so I can't really describe it other than the following: it's a Switch. take it for what it is: quick, nimble, maneuverable, light, unique. again, these aren't for everyone but people need to know what these are. some people can't get out of their own head on what watercraft is supposed to be. I like the approach of open mindedness. the biggest flaw I see so far after tons of research, forum activity and groups is the 230hp exhaust molding. that's a terrible design flaw. I'd also not go above the compact. the flex on the hull is real and I wouldn't trust it beyond 13' long. I have my positives and negatives but one of the largest benefits of this over a traditional pontoon boat WOULD be the handlebar steering. Again, everyone has a preference but I totally recommend opening your mind to the benefits over the "look." That's my 2 cents.
